I have and use,a lot, a canon eos rebel xti. It is really a great camera and it can be used on automatic or manual. I use it at my grandson games and on speed mode it freezes the action. I could go on and on about its quality but to sum it up “its idiot proof”. There is a newer version cxi? and its even better and the price is reasonable, price range $500 to $700 depending where you shop.
